The Brandon Flowers-Morrissey Connection
The Killers (Brandon Flowers, middle)
The Killers appeared in style at the Grammy red carpet yesterday
where apparently white has become the new black in Grammy fashion. The
perfectly groomed Brandon Flowers was right on the pulse wearing a
creme-colored tuxedo. The band did not receive any awards last night
despite three nominations.
Fans on The Killers Network messageboard have been discussing Flowers' ambiguous sexuality, gay-themed lyrics and boylove behavior on
stage. One fan argues that there are parallels between Flowers and Morrissey
who both purposely have used a stage persona to create an air of mystery.
Listen to The Killers' covering Morrissey's "Why Don't You Find Out" (via Chris, via David)
Prior to the Grammy show, Flowers talked about his inspiration for their hit single "Somebody Told Me" with AP. "I love the play on words. I think of it as a great icebreaker," he says. "I think of it as the ultimate pickup line. If I was a girl, I would think that it's very clever if a boy came up to me and said that to me."

there is a well known fact, all good looking men are taken, or gay, he is one of the best looking men around, therefore he is almost definately gay, I don't stand a chance with him anyways, so I don't care, he's still good to look at!!!

I really don't want him to be gay cos that'll just be weird.. i mean how many gay rock stars do you see these days? Besides Elton John but i don't even think he's a rock star... anyway it doesn't matter if he's gay cos gay guys are cool and he is REALLY hot..

People should not believe everything that they hear. The Killers are a very talented and creative group. You can tell that they put alot of meaning into their songs. There is so much talk about this and that. People should just mind their own buissnes, Brandon Flowers is an awesome, handsom, singer/ song writer..please dont ever stop making music, xoxo #1 Canadian Girl Fan Lexi

I think you lot need to get out more there no way any of you stand a chance with him you bunch of teeney boppers.And kissing a poster of him which i know you do isn't kissing brandon it's kissing a piece of recycled paper.
